Statement for University Application

I am a student at Newham Sixth Form college and I am applying to study English Language at university because I would like to develop my knowledge of how and why people speak the way they do and the way language came about as I have always been fascinated by this. This will aid me in accomplishing my aspiration of becoming a teacher.

My interest for English first arose when I was studying it at AS Level. The course has given me an insight into how people speak and the changes in meaning and in form of words. In particular I was enormously interested in studying the topic Language and Occupation as I was interested as to how different workplaces use different types of language. English Language has interested me significantly and this is because it has given me a chance to understand the use of language between people of different ages and different backgrounds. I now watch my self whilst speaking and try to use the appropriate language where possible.

Business Studies has helped me realise the importance of running a business and trying to get the best out of it. Also how to finance a business to make sure that you are making profit and not losing it. Studying Business has taught me how to sort out a balance sheet and to asses the strength and weakness of a business by carrying out a SWOT analysis. Learning how the laws of business came about intrigues me and helps me to understand as to why businesses operate in the way they do and why certain rules exist within the business culture.

Watching films and T.V, reading newspapers and magazine has always fascinated me. Studying Media has helped me to understand the actual meaning behind what is being shown and said on the screens. The way the media portrays certain images and views has a motive behind it and studying Media has helped me to question the information that is being fed to the public and it makes me question its reliability. By studying Media I now analyse every single piece of text or image...

I used to spend endless nights wide-eyed, anxiously dreading a high school life teeming with harsh peers and hollow hallways, immersed in a cold atmosphere eternally void of familiarity's warm embrace. I'll admit that this is not a hopeful vision; nevertheless, I certainly risked accepting this ugly reality when I supported my family's decision to uproot itself and move from new Jersey to Florida after my freshman year.
Somewhat fexible, my parents gave me a signifcant voice in the decision as I would be most profoundly affected. Yet, I had spent my entire life in the same cozy center-hall colonial in the same new Jersey suburb. I had known my friends since youth, when we had snowball fghts during the icy winter and ran through lawn sprinklers during the summer. Teachers knew my family and cordially greeted me in the halls. I could never move. In my mind, I was set!
Or was I? Instinct tugged at my heart, something was missing in my life because life is not about being "set." Lured by the concept of a fresh start, I yearned for the chance to write my own story. As the son of Indian immigrants, I had adventure in my blood; the time had come to venture beyond my comfort zone and stake a unique claim in Florida.The frst few months were trying; only birds joined me during lunch and I spend weekends alone writing introspective poetry. My ffteenth birthday centered on a family discussion about our affection for our new home while Hurricane Charley pounded...

...Application for Clinical Graduate Degree in Counseling
By: Rosalind Sims
Rationale for Seeking Specialization in a Clinical Counseling-Related Program
I would like to pursue counseling as my career and become a successful leader in the field. I have always had a passion to assist people in emotional distress. As a qualified professional in the counseling field, I would be able to identify their problems as well as offer them the most appropriate solutions that may help them deal with their situations. However, working as a professional counselor requires that I possess the relevant skills and knowledge that would enable me to offer quality services in which I think that I can obtain the skills at Capella University. As a professional clinical counselor, I would have to deal with clients with different problems, so my role would entail listening to their problems, preventing further damage/harm as well as relieving them from the psychologically based dysfunctions (emotional, nervous, mental and behavioral dysfunctions). In addition, I would have to create conducive environment for them, which promote their personal development and well-being. Consequently, I would therefore have to provide both vocational and educational planning for the patients. To achieve this effectively, I would require training that would enable me to administer and interpret various psychological personality tests as well as the standardized tests of memory,...

...Over-Zealous Convert Syndrome - it began to set in like a plague in my spiritual life. Whereas beforehand, I had been more or less just frustrated and intellectually prideful on my journey into the Catholic Church, I now began to be angry, uncharitable, and ultimately headed down a slippery slope.
I had started writing this blog back in 2011, and one can see the progression. Even then, I lamented the fact that the online Catholic catechesis courses I was in were advocating "centering prayer", which sparked a massive rant about the influence of the New Age on Catholic spirituality. My rants became more frequent as I encountered more and more strange things - spiritualities, events, and experiences.
I became less-and-less concerned about my relationship with Christ, and more concerned about venting over all the spiritual and liturgical problems in the Church. My spiritual life began to die. If you want to see what this period was like, read my earlier posts on this blog - though, I did take some down out of sheer embarassment at who I had become, there are a few left.
I generally kept more to my interior prayer and tried with all my might to not notice all the little things that I had not noticed before - things that indicated that there had been a force in the Church that was eating away at its insides like a horde of termites. I just hoped for a renewal, a kind of resurrection, a chance to help "rebuild the Church." Some said to me that it was a product of...

...Early in my high school years I discovered a personal truth that I have no limitations other than those I choose to impose upon myself. Everyone brings to the world unique talents, gifts, and abilities and some of mine include my strong will and my determination to be able to give something back to the community in which I was raised. My plans are to not only use the education I am seeking at Penn State to prepare me for a vocation, but also to help me make my dream as an Entrepreneur a reality and create jobs and find jobs for localized economic growth.
No one is exempt from turmoil during their lives, and I can honestly say that I am thankful for the adversities and challenges which have crossed my path because they have strengthened my character and brought forth certain virtues I might otherwise never have known. There are various personal issues with which I have struggled and I have no doubt as to where their foundations lie. At a very early age I was taken away from my parents and brothers and put into foster care. It wasn’t until I was four (4) that I was finally and thankfully adopted. When my parents adopted me I had not even learned to walk. Later on in life my first husband had an affair with my best friend from high school during our marriage leaving me to divorce with a disabled child at a young age who is now gone. Over 20 years later I remarried but when I was recalled back to active duty (Navy Reserves), he went back to his parents house in...

...future of my country, Georgia, a fast-changing place. I hope to put my extra efforts to use in these
exciting times by entering a career in tourism management and development.
Since I enjoy travelling, hiking and camping, after entering Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University I chose
Tourism Management as my major. This area of activity had never been especially popular in Georgia until
recently, and so I think the potential for development is unlimited. Georgia could become one of the best
tourism destinations in the world, and I believe that my generation should accomplish this important mission.
To be amongst those who actively build up the tourism sector in my country, my classmates and I established a
small “tour agency.” We have already organized more than five trips, mostly for Georgian students, to the
mountains in Shatili and Svaneti and the wine country. We are trying not only to attract foreigners but also to
develop internal tourism in Georgia.
In terms of schooling I have always excelled in my studies. I received top marks in the Georgian National
Exams in five subjects: English, Geography, Georgian, History, and “Skills.” As a result I was admitted to one of
the best economics universities in Georgia. I was also awarded two scholarships, the university’s and the
president’s bursaries, which covered the majority of my fees. Furthermore, I was amongst the top five students
in my university’s ratings.
